misunderstanding New York Girls.

Cigarette smoking is almost as preva-
lent among the girls as among the
youths Of New York. A certain popu-
lar actress is such an incessant smoker
that her fingers are almost stained
black from the burning tobacco and
rice paper. She smokes cigars when
cigarettes are not handy. She is posi-
lively addicted to the weed, so much so
that she always smokes at the dinner
table. For a long time noticed little
spots of fire late in. the evening in the
windows on the opposite side of the
street in which I lived. At last I saw
the two spots of fire close together in
one Of the windows. and ripples of
female laughter reached HE from that
particular window. I strained my eyes
and saw that the two spots of fire as
we'll as the laughter were produced by
two girls. , The spots, 1 may explain,
were the lighted ends of cigarettes. I
was not long in finding out. that the
other spots in the block indicated the
presence of girls smoking cigarettes.
They were taking their putfs
on the quiet. They had put out the
lights SO that they could not be seen,

so that the fumes would be carried away.
Not all the girl smokers buy their cigar
cites ready-made. Many have become
so adroit in making them that they buy
tobacco and rice paper and roll them
themselves. They smoke the mild, aro-
matte Turkish tobacco, and there are a
dozen places where they can step in and
buy either cigarettes made up, or to-
bacco and paper. Some make no bones
that the purchases are for themselves,
while others, who have not grown 6losc,
say they want them for their brothers,
in the innocent belief that they fool the
clerks. Several kinds Of cigarettes are
made with mouth-pieces, largely for the
purpose of catching female trade. Rice
paper sticks to the lips. The mouth
pieces, which are made of heavily cal
erended paper, do not. The manufact-
ure of cigarettes is increasing, but only
because the demand is increasing. Three
or four huge factories have recently
been put up in New York.
